PROOF LOAD TESTING

Proof load testing is deliberate overloading of an item of lifting equipment to ensure it can perform to the required safe working load for which it is designed to withstand in accordance with standards and manufacturer’s guidance, by giving it a full-strength test.

A proof load test is required on the installation of any lifting before the item is brought into service. it may also be required other circumstances as following a weld repair to the structural member, after a complete overhaul or at specific intervals defined by standards and regulations.
